Burr's Ed Snow Appointed Co-Chair of Emory Museum Board of Advisors
His three-year term, with fellow chair Dirk Brown, begins this month, following seven-years of volunteer service to the museum.
One of Snow's first endeavors in this new position is as program coordinator of, and speaker at, an upcoming ICLE seminar on "Professionalism and Ethics in Georgia: Ancient Foundations and Modern Equivalents," occurring on Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2013, from 8:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. The program will combine a discussion of modern legal practices compared with their ancient antecedents, using some of the museum's artifacts as a part of the presentations. Attendees will receive three CLE hours, including one ethics hour and one professionalism hour, and the first 50 registrants will receive a complimentary six-month museum membership.

A lifelong enthusiast of ancient artifacts, Snow began visiting the museum after moving to Atlanta in 1994. He brought his own family, friends and colleagues to the museum on a regular basis to discuss the artifacts, but wanted to grow his informal tours. With the museum's permission, Snow began leading groups of 10 to 15 people through the museum on Sunday afternoons.
